The Department of Justice on Monday filed to withdraw a legal action compelling Apple’s assistance in unlocking an iPhone linked to last year’s San Bernardino shootings, saying it successfully gained access to, and extracted data from, the target device.

The Justice Department has moved to vacate a California court order compelling Apple provide aid in an ongoing FBI investigation into the San Bernardino shootings. With a working exploit, law enforcement agents no longer require help from the iPhone maker and cannot — or need to — assert the All Writs Act to force Apple’s assistance.

“The government has now successfully accessed the data stored on Farook’s iPhone and therefore no longer requires the assistance from Apple Inc. mandated by Court’s Order Compelling Apple Inc. to Assist Agents in Search dated February 16, 2016,” the government said in a court filing.
